Monday 16th October 2006 Texas Dolly Still Taking US Online Poker Wagers
After hundreds of thousands of online poker players were left out in the cold after the withdrawal of some of the industry's major players, DoylesRoom.com has confirmed that they will continue to accept bets from US customers.
PartyPoker, 888.com, Titan, America's Card Room, Paradise Poker and various other online poker sites have pulled out of the US market over the past two weeks as a result of the Safe Ports Bill.
However, DoylesRoom.com has released a statement confirming to all existing and potential poker players its intention to continue to accept players from all over the world including the United States of America.
The popular poker room has taken extensive legal advice and believes that it is far too early to fully understand the implications of this bill. According to this legal advice, the new bill does not make internet poker expressly illegal nor does it take aim at players who enjoy online poker.
Until such time as the law becomes clearer, DoylesRoom.com will operate as normal with its full exciting range of games and tournaments at all limits.
With some US States having existing regulations in place that may prohibit online gaming, so DoylesRoom.com has encouraged its players to review the laws of the State in which they reside.
